Giant Stuffed Mozzarella Meatballs – The Best, Easy AF, Keto Meatballs!

by

Over the years I have become somewhat of a meatball connoisseur. That being said, I can be very picky about my balls. These keto meatballs are no exception to the scrutiny. But you just cannot beat cheesy-goodness…

The hubby’s family is from Norway, and they always make some damn good meatballs…

These meatballs are a MUST have at all family gatherings. I’ll leave the Sweedish Norwegian meatball making to the professionals, maybe one day they’ll teach me… But what I do have is this bomb AF cheese stuffed keto meatballs recipe for you!

These keto meatballs have a lot of flavors. Plus this recipe is like most of my recipes: quick and easy.
